Chester Grim's Mausoleum

Chester Grim's Mausoleum is a youtube show that brings back the old horror host vibe. Above is the newest episode which in my opinion is the best yet!! It's set up as if it's a late night TV show in a small Texas town, even including hilarious local sponsors. There is a cast of characters with ghoulish Chester in the lead, different puppets and a zombie cameraman/assistant. This seasons story line has centered around Chester's friend Wormser the zombie dying (for good this time) and the attempts and aftermath of bringing him back to life, all the while hosting cheesy old public domain industrial and instructional films. Great fun!! Indie film fans will interested to know that Chester is played by Jay Reel, director and star of kid vampire flick Dawn(2003).

I believe my dick can fly. I believe my balls can touch the thigh.

I saw Blowfly last night in Boise. Today I can't get the show out of my mind. If you ever get a chance to see him live do it by any means necessary!! He's incredible! Here's my history as a Blowfly fan.

When I was in High School I collected records. I had a Blowfly record and me and my friends would smoke weed and listen to it all the time. It was Rapp Dirty on TK Disco. It was just so funny! I knew the song Rapp Dirty by heart. Back then Blowfly seemed larger then life, I had never heard anything like it. Listening to an old disco record from the 70's never in my wildest dream did I ever think I would see Blowfly live. But sure enough years later he came to San Diego and I knew I had to see him. Unfortunately that night my best bro scored a bunch of cocaine and by the time Blowfly hit the stage I was like six lines deep. Blowfly performed the song I knew so well, Rapp Dirty, and I lost my mind. I got up to the stage and started screaming the lyrics along. In my mind I remember Blowfly looking a little concerned, probably thinking "Why is this fat crazy cracker yelling at me?". Luckily I survived that night and there was no further incident. Then a few years later I got clean and worked the steps. Blowfly was a person I needed to make amends too. I emailed a apology and Blowfly replied "Next time I'm in town you're in charge of bringing a big booty woman to the show". With Blowfly on tour and coming to town I had one woman in mind who I felt had the soul to truly appreciate the show. We had lost touch and I couldn't find her but days before the show she came into my bookstore to say hi. I invited her and she was pretty excited. She said she hadn't been out on the town since I took her dancing last February. I'm sure other guys have slimed up on her wanting to pick through her ashtray and eat her kids food but I don't doubt no one had has treated her like a lady and showed her a good time since then. Well she loved the show and Blow told her she was beautiful and gave her some caring words of advice which made her feel good. Amends completed and I had a awesome time as well. It's not great that the ride home my eyes kept unfocusing and I picked up her kids from the babysitter at 2:30 AM in the morning on a school night but YOLO right?

I also had a moment where I related with Blowfly on stage. He was talking about being two people, nice guy Clarence Reid and Blowfly. I'm this way with Mormo. I could learn a lesson from Blowfly. Clarence had a good career writing chart topping hits for popular bands. There is a lot of money in song writing. But then Blowfly happened and the effort went into producing much less lucrative X-rated party records. Is this a bad thing? I think one has to consider the social impact of Blowfly. I imagine many square and even racist white people in the 60's and 70's spinning his records and laughing, thinking "This guy is one the good ones". I respect Blowfly a lot because it must have took a lot of guts for a black man to express his sexuality back in the day. Really a sexual black man is shocking even today, when most black roles are silly clowns, the first to get killed in a horror flick or a emasculated faggot in drag. Mormo isn't X-rated but is mostly for adults, with the exception of the month of October. Is Mormo a good direction? Is there social relevance there? I've justified the character with the words of Johnny Cash "Up front there all to be a man in black". I've never been motivated by money and I would be proud to follow in Blowfly's footsteps!!!

What I'm doing.

I just made a awesome infomercial!! It's on the front page of my new website. Check it out:

I am really excited about making a movie but I want to build up some more fans first so I'm trying some marketing stuff. The movie I plan on making is going to be called "Mormo Goes To Jail". It will feature some magic tricks and some gory stuff too. I got a guy writing the script. I'd like to get done over the winter.

I sent out of bunch of zines for review and trade and have got some interesting stuff back. I think my next issue will be either about no budget movies you can stream online, Mormo themed fiction and art by people serving life sentences in prison, over interviews with female punk rock stars about punk rock fetishes. What sounds better to you?

Direction?!

I feel like I can take my magic career in many directions and I am having trouble deciding what to do next. I recently had some emotional problems which made things even worse but I got that under control. I thought my life was in the gutter when I was a drug addict then I meet the 12 step women and think "dang I'm in karmic hell or something"! Art is my destiny I just need to find my way.

One way to go is a festival next week. I was planning on being a one trick Sally and performing Triple Chefalo Knot at the festival without asking for tips just for stage time. I was told by two magicians I respect not to do this. I blew it this year and wrote a screenplay that never happened in Winter then quickly threw together an act for Summer and bombed when I tried it. I only got like 5 days to practice for the weekend so I just don't know.

Another option is youtube. My account has finally started generating money, a very small amount but something. I am thinking I could perform a better quality "The Killer Who Scared Me" with a lady and see if I can get any views that way. Also maybe do a punk rock music video in character with some magic and a lady in her underwear. I was going to do some political mud slinging video but I am too sensitive for politics anymore so I think this would be a bad idea.

Also my bookstore. I could get a book test and perform for custies. Mostly tourists for the rest of the Summer.

Also I could be a art agent and try and get my artist friend shows in Portland and Boise for a cut of the profits.

Or I could meditate my butt off and figure out a traveling busking set to get out of the terrible East Oregon Winter. I try and visualize how to stay clean and eat and gas and character and material I could be proud of and make it BIG!!!! I'm a talented guy and I've lead a strange life and I feel if I could bring all the experiences and skills I've accumulated over the years into one act I could make something out of myself. I fantasize about Wintering in SD where I could shower at the beach and reconnect with old friends like my bro Magic Matt.

I wish I could do all of this and more but find with magic I can't go in many different directions. I can learn a set show if I practice often but when I put a trick down for a month I got to start all over.

Mormo Magic Special

I've had a TV show before and now I want to do it again, only this time in Boise and Portland and maybe Eugene. This one is going to be a magic special. I should finish writing the script this week. I will perform seven tricks and there will be a disturbing story to go with it. I only hope I can get other people involved. This is my toughest thing is getting people involved and working with other people. Really looking forward to having this in the can though.

The Human Centipede 2 - Ew. I normally like movies about people overcoming handicaps but this went too far for me. I think I am getting soft in my old age.
